Course Detail

A Foodie and Fiber Tour of the Driftless Region

October
11 and 12, 2017

Untouched by glaciers, the
Driftless Region is characterized by forested hillsides, river valleys,
wetlands, grassland prairies, limestone river rock, wildflowers, and wildlife. It’s
no wonder La Farge, Cashton, and Viroqua
have attracted young entrepreneurs looking for a slow, civilized lifestyle and
like-minded people. The Driftless Region has become Wisconsin’s fastest growing
tourist destination for people looking to relax in Ben Logan’s The Land
Remembers country, to shop directly for cheese and yarn, to admire artisans
at unique art collectives and to dine at some of Wisconsin’s newest
farm-to-table cafes. Alpacas, Muenster,
and Maple Syrup will feature some of the area’s most attractive stops.
Join your foodie friends and others for a fantastic evening in La Crosse’s The
Charmant, a renovated candy factory and the city’s only boutique hotel, a meal
on the La Crosse Queen, and two days in the Driftless Region of Southwestern
Wisconsin. Also included: Lunch at The Driftless Café, demonstrations and
shopping at B&E’s Trees, Hickory Wind Farms, Pasture Pride Cheese Factory,
and Viroqua Public Market, and coach transportation from UW Waukesha.
